On Friday 27th November we held the first of our new, monthly interview series, extending our long running ETC programme into the online sphere. We'll be running these live interviews on the last Friday of every month and have a real exciting line-up of speakers planned. These talks are particularly aimed at students taking their first steps in a life in art and over the next six months we'll be talking to a painter, illustrator, printmaker, sculptor and curate about how they navigated their journey from education to a full time career in the arts. We'll be recording the talks and making them public on our new Youtube Channel, so please do share them as widely as you like and feel free to subscribe!
